Maj. Gen. Rogers Nicholas, head of the counter-insurgency operation in the North East, revealed the development.

What this means is that nobody is sitting down, sleeping over it. It means that the government is serious in rescuing these abducted girls. Primarily, that is why the NSA is here to see things for himself and add value to what we are doing.
